the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

Ryan Gosling and James Ortiz as Ryland Grace and Rocky PROJECT HAIL MARY

[rovermcfly]

rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and grace's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.

If it’s any consolation, you’ll be hailed as a hero.

Stratt kept her promises about the statues :)

Shoutout to Project Hail Mary for being the only media where the unconscious protagonist is dragged off screen by an alien spider monster and the audience's reaction is heartbreak on behalf of the alien spider monster.

I would die for Rocky 😭

I think the key to a happy life as an adult woman is to channel your inner weird little girl and make her happy

katniss: everyone’s so focused on protecting peeta because they too know how pure hearted he is and believe that he—a boy they’ve never even met before—deserves to survive over them and their friends of literal decades

finnick, to literally everyone else: okay if peeta dies she’s gonna kill all of us and then herself, so hands in, protect bread boy on three-

go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

I didn’t expect to come away from a book about Haymitch even more convinced of Peeta Mellark’s crucial role in the rebellion, but I did. Because the book showed that Katniss was not uniquely rebellious. It reminded us that Snow’s worldview hinges on one fact: he is the victor. There is no room in his world for the vulnerability that Lucy Gray caused him. Haymitch recognizes it: Snow will not allow him to die. There must be a singular, selfish victor. Because every lone victor sends the same message to Panem: your will to power must come before any loyalties, any sense of justice. The people around you cannot be trusted. They are your enemies, when the chips are down. It is a a brutal slap in the face of any organized resistance. The idea of two victors is completely and utterly antithetical to Snow’s personal demons, and to his system. He rationalizes his betrayal of Lucy Gray this way. He drives the point home to Haymitch when he kills Ma, Sid, and Lenore Dove: any attempt to sidestep your fate will be met with awful retribution. It probably gave him some personal satisfaction to kill a Covey-girl, but it didn’t matter. She was a dead woman regardless. And Katniss? Okay, she sings some songs. She buries a child in flowers. Beautiful. But if she wins fair and square, she’s less of a threat even than Haymitch, and more of a victory for Snow. Not even Covey-blood are above his rules.

Then Peeta throws a wrench in the whole thing. Because he loves her. And he wears it proudly. But even then, Snow is not worried. This is nothing new. Star-crossed lovers mean nothing. No alliance can last. One of them must kill the other, in the end. That is how this story goes.

And then it doesn’t. Because they refuse. There will be no singular victor. Either there will be none, or there will be two. He says Seneca should have killed them on the spot, and maybe that would have bought him some time, but as soon as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark determined that life or death at each other’s side was more important than anything else, it was all over. The system really was brought down by a handful of berries.

[rosegardeninwinter]

yeah so the reading landscape as a whole completely missed this somehow which is why I can’t take a lot of thg meta seriously

WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM?!? \ ET interviewer told Josh Hutcherson that Mckenna Grace made "Team Peeta" fan edits.

For reference, Grace said in Teen Vogue:

“I'll tell you something I haven't admitted in an interview before,” Grace begins, her voice halting. “I don't even know if I've told any of my Hunger Games cast this. It's well-known on the internet that I might have had a secret editing account at times in my life.” The edits in question, she reveals, were Peeta Mellark-centric. “There may or may not be a few McKenna Grace-made Hunger Games edits floating around the internet. From, like, three years ago. I hope to God [they don't pop up]… I'm still so tapped in with that community. It's so weird getting to be a part of those sets now. I'm like, 'Francis, I used to edit this.'"

Now I want a fic where an alive Maysilee helps Peeta woo Katniss (her BF's daughter). I'd love to hear her take on Gale.

[bethpeaches123]

But like, just imagine if she’s here on Tumblr with us and we have no idea 😂 she could be in our group right now!! Hey McKenna! 👋🏻😅❤️
